THE COMMONWEALTH ASSEMBLY
연방의회




The Commonwealth Assembly (연방의회) of the Myeong Commonwealth, which inherits the mantle of the Jungchuwon (중추원) of the Daehan Empire, is the Commonwealth's legislative organ, responsible for enacting amending laws for mandatory promulgation by HM The Emperor, through a supreme entity known as 'Emperor-in-Assembly' (연방의회에 있어서의 명한황).

It is a bilateral assembly composed of two chambers: the House of the Peoples (민민원) and the Confederal Council (만방원). Members of the House of the Peoples, known simply as 'Members of the Commonwealth Assembly' (MCAs), are popularly elected through a Commonwealth-wide vote, while members of the Confederal Council, called 'Confederal Councillors,' are doubled by heads of Provinces, Protectorates, and Associated States or their appointees. The House, chaired by a Lord Speaker, has the power to pass legislation, approve the confederal budget, and elect or dismiss the Prime Minister and other Secretaries of the Commonwealth. The Council, chaired by the Lord President, can veto only bills that seek to amend the Constitution or the relations between Commonwealth authorities and confederal subjects and between confederal subjects.

Confederal Council (만방원)


The upper chamber of Parliament is known as the Confederal Council. Every confederal subject, be it a Province, Protected State, or an Associated State, regardless of its size, gets one seat in this chamber. Before proposing a bill to change the Constitution or any other bill that affects how Commonwealth authorities and confederal subjects, and how a confederal subject and another confederal subject work together, the HM Government needs the approval of the Confederal Council. A simple majority vote can acquire this approval. The head of government of a confederal subject may appoint someone, including himself to represent his confederal subject as a Confederal Councillor. When voting, a Confederal Councillor should effectuate the confederal subject's preferences as far as possible. The Lord Chancellor of the Privy Council is the ex officio chair of the Confederal Council, known as the Lord President.

House of the Peoples (만민원)


The House of the Peoples is the lower chamber of the Commonwealth Assembly where Members (MCAs) are elected through direct elections based on universal franchise. MCAs serve for five years, but the Prime Minister, himself an MCA, can ask the Monarch to dissolve the House if needed. The Lord Speaker of the House is elected or dismissed by other Members. The House follows the majority rule when making laws, meaning they can create new laws. They can also improve existing statutes by looking at laws from other places. If the House believes that the Prime Minister or another Secretary has, for whatever reason, under-performed, MCAs can pass a vote of no-confidence. If the vote passes, then that official must resign, and the Monarch must accept the resignation.
